Same Tricks
6/7/22
It's the lamest
I hate it
All these snake pits
Another rapist and racist
You name it
Still to this day it's
The same tricks
And same
Don't tell me to watch my language
Why's there always gotta be a bailiff and plaintiff
Always fighting even when you're related
For a reason pictures were created
Dated artwork that was hand painted
Demonstrated that opposition was decapitated
Or incarcerated
The cause of many outrages
It all could not easily be predicted and calculated
As it was stated
This is accurately translated
People often claim it
And blame quick
Sad that many became sick
Surely it can't be fated
I won't stand for it and take it
I'll work to change it
Not afraid of it, but willing to face it
In order for myself and others to make it
For far too long I've waited
At times I really ate it
For being one of the bravest
At my lowest very far from my greatest
Dang it
This is the thanks I get
It's time I shape shift
Unable to trace it
Still can't explain it
All these tired faces
Too many lives taken
Annihilated
In today's world hard to find peace and quiet places
Endless noise
No longer about toys
Maintaining poise
While working with different alloys
Still looking for joy
No need to be coy
